Article Synopsis
- Cannulation for haemodialysis is necessary but causes anxiety and varies in patient experiences based on individual and clinical traits.
- The study used interviews with 41 haemodialysis patients to identify key aspects of their needling experiences, resulting in a framework that includes themes like the nature of needling and factors such as the health of the fistula, the needler, and the organizational context.
- Findings highlight the psychological and relational dynamics of needling, suggesting healthcare professionals can improve patient experiences, ultimately enhancing overall care quality.
Background: Bariatric surgery, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains the gold standard for treating obesity. Most people regain weight from postsurgery nadir.
Objectives: Liraglutide 3.
Article Synopsis
- CMV (Cytomegalovirus) is a genus of herpesviruses that has evolved alongside primates and typically causes lifelong infections, being mostly harmless in healthy individuals but dangerous for those with weakened immune systems.
- The human CMV genome is highly complex, containing at least 15 gene families, with the RL11 gene family being the largest and vital for immune evasion, yet showing high variability, making evolutionary relationships hard to trace.
- This study used genomic and phylogenetic analysis to trace the evolution of the RL11 gene family, revealing that it is unique to certain primates and resulted from early gene duplications followed by specific gene losses in different lineages.
Background: Utilising point-of-care ultrasound for assessment and cannulation of vascular access in people receiving haemodialysis has shown positive clinical results. Nonetheless, there is variation in how renal health care professionals worldwide embrace this method, and there's a lack of research on the factors that promote or hinder its adoption.
Objectives: To explore regional differences, and barriers and facilitators, to the use of point-of-care ultrasound for assessment and cannulation of vascular access in haemodialysis.
